Bakeries of America - Chico, California

We had a few days in between stamping classes and stayed in Chico, California before moving on to Sacramento. Of course, we always make it a point to try out beautiful bakeries in whatever town we are in - and the first thing that caught Emma's eye at the Tin Roof Bakery was their incredibly delicious Strawberry Cream cupcake. Strawberries were blended into the whipped cream frosting - and a spoonful of fresh, slightly mashed strawberries were hidden in the middle of each cupcake.

Light and airy, the cupcake was wonderful - and beautifully done. On the other end of the spectrum, we bought some ultra rich Fleur de Sel tarts - crumbly crusts, a bottom layer of caramel, a top layer of dark chocolate ganache and a sprinkling of sea salt.

Amazing.

Afterwards, we were ready for some more classes - and to try out some more bakeries! Next stop Sacramento, California at the Paper Garden!

Yum, that cupcake looks good! Dave, I bought your poinsettia wreath and matching stamp and I love it! It is so cool how the die cuts the wreath out so nice and crisp. Yeah, nice and crisp!! LOL! You need to do more wreaths down the road. More flower wreaths. And your dies are just fabulous! I bought the Delicate Vine die awhile back and finally used it the other day and it is so lovely! You are the only one doing dies that are more delicate. And I bought Nightfall and Yuletide. Swoon! They are wonderful! Are you going to put out some stamps with those bears?! I see the one bear on the patterned paper that you released last Xmas season. But there are some real cuties on this paper! Well, thanks and love seeing your travels with the family.
